The messy adventures of John Marsh |
What a beautiful day to be out on the water! Sadly, I’m not able do do everything I could if I were not injured, and the water is still pretty chilly. However, I got good and stuck, and I shot my first mud video with my new 4K professional camera. The image at the top left is not resized or cropped, to give you an idea of the resolution available from a 4K frame. The remaining images have been cropped and reduced in size.
The trip was a little too much for me. Twisting in thick mud is probably hard on my back, and loading the boat on the trailer was a strain. However, I’m so glad I got to go out and enjoy some mud on such a beautiful day.
As you can see from these images, I stepped out onto a muddy shelf, wearing jeans. At first the shelf seemed like it was going to carry my weight, but that was just an illusion designed to lure me further away from the edge. My legs were trapped instantly, once I started to sink. Although I had a lifeline, the thick mud would not release my legs, so I was destined to struggle in vain against the thick mud that rewarded my efforts by drawing me a little bit deeper into it’s relentless grip.
Oh, sorry, I got a little carried away with my adjectives. I sank well past my naval before I decided I’d better wriggle my tight ass out of the mud and stop tormenting my spine. It wasn’t easy getting out. When I do these videos, I’m not really faking; I’m just not using proper extraction techniques.
So, I’m back, and eventually I’ll make a clip or two from the video I shot, but I can’t sit at my desk very long, so this is all you’re going to get today. I’m looking forward to a long 2017 mudding season. I hope everyone is doing well. I look forward to hearing from everyone. Don’t be afraid to say hello. (I still have a contact form on this site, you can find me on UMD.net, and I’m also on FetLife as ropes4pleasure.)
This has been a very unusual February. I plan to visit my swamp this morning, but I’m not sure how much I’ll be able to do, as I injured my back a couple of weeks ago and I’m still in recovery. I have a new 4K video camera I want to take out, so I think I’ll throw on some tight jeans and see what I can get on video. Wish me luck!
p.s. If I make it back alive, I’ll be posting an update later today, or tomorrow.
Conditions in the local swamp have not been conducive for mud adventures. It took a week for things to return to normal after Hurricane Michael swept through, and since then the tides have been out of sync with daylight, when it’s been warm enough and I’ve been free to go out.
So, I uncovered the clay pit this past Saturday. I wanted to do something really adventurous and visually appealing. I only had a 2 hour window in which to get set up, have some fun, get out, get cleaned up, and get my equipment put away, because I had a Halloween party to attend.
It was a really warm day, so I wasn’t cold. I ran into some minor problems getting the clay pit ready, so I didn’t end up having much time to enjoy myself. I did some light bondage to make it interesting, and finished the scene by jacking myself off. It wasn’t as good as I had hoped it would be, but it was a perfect day, and I’m glad I got to spend some time getting immersed.
I did shoot video, and I’ll probably release the video soon, since I haven’t had anything to release, lately. However, it won’t be one of the most interesting videos. We seem to be in a warm weather pattern, so I might get a chance to shoot another one. The tides will eventually come ’round and I might even get another trip into the swamp. The water is still warm, so all I need is a warm day with a mid-day low tide when I can break from work for a few hours.
It could happen. 🙂
I went paddling on Hunters Creek yesterday. That creek is where I did most of my early exploring back in the mid 90’s. I paddled past the sites of some of my early videos. If I hadn’t had a destination selected, I would have stopped at a few places along the way, just for old time’s sake.
However, I had a spot in mind, and the tide wasn’t going to wait for me to get there. I had about a 2 mile paddle that I expected to execute in about 30 minutes. I didn’t plan on having to cross as many fallen trees as I did, and I definitely didn’t plan on the beaver dam. I had to get out of my boat and drag it over at least 10-20 logs. I arrived at my destination about 30 minutes behind schedule, but the tide was pretty low and I ended up having enough time to shoot a clip and enjoy myself for a while.
In the clip, I play an explorer, wearing my hat, a sleeveless shirt, jeans, and boots. I come to a dangerous looking expanse of mud that I must cross, so I use a rope with a grappling hook to aid in my crossing. I’m not going to tell you how the story ends, but, like so many of my swamp explorer movies, it doesn’t end well for the explorer.
I went out with two movie ideas, but only one of them was possible. After finishing it, I turned off the recording equipment, stripped off my jeans, removed some debris from the mud, and horsed around for a while, before packing up and paddling to a spot where I could swim and get cleaned up.
The water where I was on Hunters Creek is fresh and cool. It was a hot day, and it felt really good to be in the water. I took my time getting myself, my clothes, and the rest of my gear cleaned up and packed in the boat. I was really in no hurry, since I still had 4 hours of daylight. The paddle back took a little longer, as I was going against the current and still had to cross a lot of log jams, but I was in my element on the creek.
I’ll be releasing a new video clip, soon. I thought I was going to edit one tonight, but I had a couple of phone calls, I had to help my neighbor with his computer, and now it’s after 11pm and I’ve got to work in the morning. I have several non-bondage videos that I need to edit and publish. I’ll definitely have something new before the end of August.
I had been pondering a trip out to the river for a while. Yesterday, I decided to make the drive and explore a spot that I haven’t visited in over 5 years.
I used to have a bit of a clearing where I pulled my boat up on shore and a trail to my mud hole. Yesterday, I had to clear tall marsh grass where I landed and it wasn’t easy to find the mud hole, because it was grown over with clumps of grass.
The cool part was that the mud under that grass was still soft and bottomless. I could walk right up to the edge of where I had it worked up, but the next step was instant death.
I got into my Tarzan thong so I could make a little “Tarzan get sucked under” video. I’ll bet you can’t guess how it ends! Sorry, the name sort of gave it away. Maybe I’ll come up with a better name for it. It might sell better if I just call it “Tarzan gets sucked”. Facebook would probably identify that as click-bait and banish me. Actually, I don’t use Facebook.
The mud was good. It was thick and the grass on top made it impossible for me to use my usual escape trick. I wish I had had my wrists tied behind my back. Escape would have been really interesting, then.
There is absolutely no bottom to this muck, and it’s pretty smelly, too. I think I might have to go back there, sometime.
I didn’t work really hard on shooting video, yesterday. I took only my GoPro and kept it close so I could adjust it from time to time. The images here are all from the GoPro video. Once I finished shooting the main feature, I enjoyed the mud for a while longer, and got sucked under one more time for posterity.
Finally, I clawed my way out of the mud and returned to the river to wash off. It was nice having only one tripod and a very light camera to carry. I had to think back to the old days, on the techniques I had developed for cleaning up on that muddy river bank.
The cleanup spot is wide open to the river, but I didn’t see a single boat on the river, the entire time I was out there. It has really never been a problem; I can hear motorboats coming long before they come into view, and there aren’t many. A canoe or kayak could sneak up on me, but that has never happened. If it does, I’ll just invite them to join me in the water. 🙂
That’s it. There can be no more mudding this week, because I have no car. It’s too bad, because today would be a great day for mudding. I can still detect the smell of that mud on my skin. It’s a nice reminder of where I’ve been.
